Suggest Treatment For Cut/scars In The Eye
I had Lasik surgery in 2001. In 2008, I had an accident with a menu at a restaurant and slashed a cut in my eye. The cut was deep enough that it went thru the lasik layer of the tissue. The doctor I went to gave me antibiotic drops and it healed with no problems. Except that i now have a scar right in my line of vision, which causes double vision in that one eye and also very to drive at night....it causes all lights to become starburst.... Can anything be done to minimize or get rid of the scar?

You need to wait and watch for atleast 6 months to 1 year till the scar becomes faint and slowly your star burst will come down. If vision is good then no surgical intervention. If vision is less then needs surgical touch up depending on the depth of scar.
